만공(滿空) 문하 견성암과 환희대의 비구니 문중에 관한 일고 = A consideration about the nuns’ clans of Mangong disciples with Gyeonseongam and Hwanheedae

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It deals with the transmission of nuns centered around Sudeoksa Temple.
I looked into the nuns’ clans that occupied half of Korean Buddhism, and especially Gyeonseongam and Hwanheedae of Sudeoksa in Deoksungchonglim. I studied the research in chronological order from nuns’ clans which were established at the time of Buddha to the nuns clan in Korea, and then the nuns clan of Gyeonseongam and Hwanheedae.
The nuns’ clans of Sudeoksa are spread throughout the country, and most of them have taken root at Sudeoksa. Nuns who learned Zen under Mangong at Sudeoksa are prospered and Buddhist doctrine of nuns was formed around them. Next, I introduced Gyeonseongam and Hwanheedae among the nuns clans of Sudeoksa in Deoksungchonglim.
Through this study, we understand that nuns’ clans centered around Sudeoksa have been handed down, and it was connected through Buddhist doctrine, not blood relations. However, we also learned that social customs centered on blood relations still have strong power. It is necessary to discuss in public in order to get social and cultural recognition for the transmission of Buddhism and to be recognized as customary law, and I pointed out the importance to inform the current status of transmission of teacher and pupil.
